Is Your Cellphone Causing Your Acne Problems?

We use our mobile phones every day not just for calls and instant messages, but also to use a variety of apps and to get information from the internet. Aside from its text and call features, probably the most used app in our mobiles is the camera.

Harmful Effects to the Skin of Mobile Phone Use

While we enjoy the many things we can do with our mobile phones, our constant use of it may cause some harmful effects on the skin. All those selfies are doing some damage to our skin. Too much exposure to mobile phone heat is not good for the skin. Did you know that the heat coming from mobile phones is known to promote the number of antigens that could cause allergies? Those who already have a history of having severe allergic reactions are particularly vulnerable. Heat plus the use of nickel and cobalt in the phone trimmings could also make the skin red and itchy. And with these skin irritation, blemishes and acne could break out on the skin.

Then add to this the accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and other nastiness on our phones. When mobile phones get in contact with the skin to make a call, the skin is not only in direct contact with the bacteria, but it also starts to perspire and even traps oil in the pores. Worse, the pressure of the phone on the skin creates blemishes.

Proactiv 3-Step Solution for Clear, Acne-free Skin

Fortunately for the selfie-crazy generation, there’s America’s #1 acne treatment system, Proactiv Solution with its dermatologist-developed 3-Step System, to help clear existing acne and prevent future outbreaks, while gently taking care of the skin. This will also make the skin always ready for a selfie without the need for filters before posting it online.

Proactiv’s 3-Step System starts with the application of the Renewing Cleanser, which contains Benzoyl Peroxide to help kill acne-causing bacteria. The ultra-fine, micro-crystal BPO penetrates pores fast while being gentle on the skin and tiny exfoliating beads help to unclog the pores of impurities, such as excess sebum, keratin, and dead skin cells. Next is the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner which refines and purifies pores through gentle exfoliation. It contains soothing botanicals to gently remove excess oil for refreshed, clear skin. Finally, there’s the Repairing Lotion, a treatment that helps to heal breakouts and prevents new ones from forming.

Each Proactiv kit comes with a free Refining Mask that helps keep skin clear and acne-free. Formulated with sulfur, a proven acne-fighting ingredient, the Refining Mask reaches deep into the pores where blemishes begin. It unclogs pores, pampers inflamed skin, and softens the skin’s texture.

Improving Skin Health

To improve our skin health, we need to take a break from the long heat exposure that we get from mobile phones. To achieve this, we can:

lessen the hours we spend on phone calls

lessen the amount of time playing games on the phone

take fewer selfies instead of filling our phone’s memory with a lot of it.

And by using Proactiv to have that blemish-free skin, the perfect selfie could just be a click away.
